Jason,
I have had my truck a almost a year. It has over 172,000 miles on it
and I need to clean it every once in a while (about every other oil change).
I just spray some fuel injector cleaner in there and it does a lot better.
Right now I have to have my idle speed adjusted, but I don't want to pay the
dealer $75 just to adjust it. I believe that is a little expensive, how
about you?
